i really think they should had done the focus but saying that, it would have torque steered off the bridge before the trojan go a look in

Also wouldn't be fast enough.

Did anyone notice that the RS lap time was below the old STi (Blobeye, I think, driven by Black Stig who was slower.)

Not sure what STi time that was. I know that the new STi was 0.02 seconds faster than the Evo X and I did not see the EVO on that board (although it was only on for a second). Here is a short cut to the power laps times. BBC - Top Gear - Power Laps
There are a couple of STi's and a couple of RS's. As I said the only one I know for sure is that the MY08/09 STi is 1.28.2

They have pushed the EVO X up quite a few places on this list. I watched the program where the new STi beat the EVO X (by a whisker) much to Mr Clarkson’s disbelief. The BBC top gear list is more accurate, but has less detail on the cars.

I know you can edit Wikipedia – must have been edited by an EVO driver or fan, who conveniently dropped the .02 seconds.

Ok. The way I see it:

New STI 1.28.2
Focus RS 1.29.3
Old STI 1.30.1 (old Stig)

Looking at the Liana times, old Stig was 1.6 secs slower than new Stig.

I'd say both model STIs are quicker than the RS. And we all know how much quicker they could be with a couple of simple suspension tweaks.

What I find more puzzling is the WRX is near the bottom (just above the Liana etc). That can't be right, or is it down to the crappy brakes?
